In a not-so-distant past life, I was a New York-based publicist for some of the world's biggest beauty brands. Several years and strange twists of fate later, I found myself living in Beirut, Lebanon, and writing about fashion, beauty, travel and motherhood for The Wall Street Journal, NYLON, Jezebeland more.

I'm now back on U.S. soil after seven years abroad. These days I freelance write and edit, but I still dabble in PR when a dream project comes around.
